ALVARO MORATA is reportedly not happy at Chelsea and has been in constant contact with his former Real Madrid team-mates via Whatsapp.
Alvaro Morata joined Chelsea last month for a club-record fee in the region of £70million but has failed to start in either of the Blues’ first two matches.
The 24-year-old was a second-half substitute in the Community Shield defeat to Arsenal and 3-2 loss to Burnley at the weekend.
And despite scoring a superb diving header against Sean Dyche’s side, the Spain international is reportedly not comfortable at Stamford Bridge.
Spanish outlet Diario Gol claim he is feeling the heat and confessed to his former Real Madrid team-mates via Whatsapp he is unhappy.
The report says Morata may have warned other Real players against leaving the Bernabeu this summer, claiming the grass is not greener.
Morata admitted last week in an interview with Spanish newspaper Marca he was feeling the pressure of his big-money move.
“I admit it’s a very important amount but I have the personality to play calmly and to stay on my path,” he said.
“I’ve only had two pre-season games, 15 minutes officially and a missed penalty, and they’re already killing me, so I know what’s ahead.
“It’s the price you have to pay for such a big transfer.
“It’s something that motivates me and makes me work harder every day. I know that twice as many people are looking at me now.”
However, Antonio Conte admitted after the Burnley defeat he was encouraged by Morata’s performance and claimed he is adapting well to life in the Premier League.
“Morata is very important and it’s important that he now adapts himself to our philosophy – today he played a good game with the right intensity,” Conte said.
“Now he has to continue to work with all the rest of our players.”
